- CONCLUSION: This report highlights the range of material goods provided in pediatric continuity clinics and the variability in their availability, funding sources, and screening processes and can serve as the basis for future research to evaluate the impact of material goods provision.
- Pediatric home health care represents a vital system of care for children with disability and medical complexity, encompassing services provided by family caregivers and nonfamily home health care providers and the use of durable medical equipment and supplies. Home health care is medically necessary for the physiologic health of children with disability and medical complexity […]
- CONCLUSIONS: Persistent exposure to neighborhood physical disorder is associated with higher levels of metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers, underscoring the need for targeted clinical screening and neighborhood initiatives to promote healthy aging in place.
- OBJECTIVE: To qualitatively explore Medicaid-enrolled parents' and young adult patients' perspectives and experiences with telemedicine in pediatric primary care.
- This study aimed to describe the home-built environment of children with medical complexity (CMC) using novel photovoice methodology. Parents/guardians of CMC uploaded and discussed photographs of their home environment through semi-structured interviews. Conventional content analysis was applied to interview transcripts embedded with corresponding photographs. All participants modified their home environment to optimize the health, function, […]

- Healthcare delivery and access, both in the United States and globally, were negatively affected during the entirety of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was particularly true during the first year when countries grappled with high rates of illness and implemented non-pharmaceutical interventions such as stay-at-home orders. Among children with special healthcare needs, research from the United […]
- Racial disparities in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the United States have been linked to social inequities. Gentrification instigates population-level shifts in housing markets and neighborhood racial/ethnic composition in ways that may impact the spatial distribution of STIs. This study assessed overlap in clusters of STIs, gentrification, social and economic disadvantage, and rental cost burden […]
- Despite growing attention to other social needs like food and housing insecurity, financial strain, defined as having difficulty making ends meet or lacking money for basic needs, is under-recognized. Inconsistent labels and measures have made the literature difficult to unify. We used many synonyms for financial strain to systematically identify 199 U.S. studies (316 papers) […]
- CONCLUSION: Higher patient activation scores were associated with decreased odds of functional limitation. Providers may consider the potential value of using behavioral activation strategies to address functional decline.
- CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: A health literacy-informed digital intervention improved child weight-for-length trajectory across the first 24 months of life and reduced childhood obesity at 24 months. The intervention was effective in a racially and ethnically diverse population that included groups at elevated risk for childhood obesity.
- CONCLUSIONS: The HISTORY study will serve as a crucial background upon which future structural interventions can be built, to mitigate the effects of methamphetamine use and SRD among Black sexual minority men.
- CONCLUSION: Racial differences in telehealth ease of use and usefulness perceptions highlight the need for oncology practices to couple connectivity support with effective communication strategies to avoid disparities in oncology telehealth services.
- CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This cohort study found that right-to-counsel was associated with reduced risk of adverse birth outcomes among Medicaid-insured birthing parents. These findings suggest that eviction prevention via right-to-counsel may have benefits that extend beyond the courtroom and across the life-course.
- Family caregiving may affect purpose in life, defined as the sense that life has meaning and intentionality. Few studies have compared caregivers to non-caregivers or examined the characteristics of caregivers associated with purpose in life. Using data from the Caregiving Transitions Study (n = 486), we conducted multiple linear regression analyses to test the effects […]
